You can find shredders from under $100 to over $1,000. I have found a shredder is in the category of getting what you paid for. Since becoming self-employed in the early 90’s, I’m on my 3rd or 4th. There are straight strip shredders and cross-cut shredders. There are shredders that additionally shred credit cards and CDs. The lower-priced ones heat after a very short time and will shut down until cool. Low priced ones also shred fewer pages at one time. My last two have been Fellows. They were in the $400-$500 price range. The last one is 10-12 years old. |
